Hamas urges Palestinian unity in ‘resistance’ to annexation
Gaza rulers Hamas call for unity among Palestinians and “resistance” against Israeli plans to annex parts of the West Bank.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims to begin a process of annexing West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley from July 1, as part of a US peace initiative.
“We call for the annexation project to be confronted with resistance in all forms,” says senior Hamas official Salah al-Bardawil, using a euphemism for violence.
“We call on our people to transform this hardship into an opportunity to get the Palestinian project back on track,” he tells a press conference.
